 HVAC
Heating Ventilating Air Conditioning
-is the technology of indoor and vehicular
environmental comfort.

-Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and

acceptable indoor air quality.

- HVAC system design is a sub discipline of

mechanical engineering, based on the principles
of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat
transfer.

WHAT IS AIR – CONDITIONING ?

it a process of treating air such as :

- cooling
-heating
-ventilating
- cleanliness
- humidity
- among others
 SENSIBLE HEAT
If a substance is heated(heat added) and the
temperature raises as the heat is added,the
increase in heat is sensible heat.If the
temperature falls,the removed is
again,sensible heat.

Simply, heat which causes a change in

temperature in a substance is called sensible
heat
 LATENT HEAT

all pure substance are able to change their state. Solids

become liquids, liquids becomes gas. These changes of state
occur at the same temperature and pressure combinations
for any given substance, It takes addition or removal of heat
to produce these changes.

HEAT which brings about a change of state with no change

in temperature is called LATENT(hidden)HEAT
APPLICATION OF LATENT HEAT
In refrigeration work,the physics of latent heat is
very important.

Ex.:As ice melts,its temperature remains

constant but it absorbs a considerable amount of
heat in changing from ice to water.
In mechanical refrigerator,when a substance
passes from liquid to vapor,its ability to absorb
heat is very high
PRINCIPLE of LATENT HEAT

changes its state depends on pressure.The

higher the pressure,the higher the
temperature needed to bring about the
change.Conversely,if the pressure is
lowered,the temperature at which the
change of state will take place is lowered
 TON of REFRIGERATION EFFECT

the older units is often indicated in”tons of refrigeration”

One ton of refrigeration= 1 ton of ice melts

during 24hr day.

The ice is assumed to be a solid at 0 C initially and becomes water

at 0 C
The energy absorb by the ice is the LATENT HEAT of ice
times the TOTAL WEIGHT

1 ton = approx. 907 kg.

Latent = 337 kj/kg
Energy absorb = latent heat x weight
337kj/kg x 907 kg
= 307,659 kj

Convert to kilowatts :
1 kw = 1kj/sec

1 ton refrigeration capacity

=305,659/(24x3600sec)
=3.54 kw

Horsepower (HP) is a unit of measurement of power (the rate at which work is
done). There are many different standards and types of horsepower.
The term was adopted in the late 18th century by Scottish engineer James Watt
to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses.
It was later expanded to include the output power of other types of piston
engines, as well as turbines, electric motors and other machinery

 ELEMENTARY
REFRIGERATOR
 LAWS OF REFRIGERATION

All Refrigerating Systems Depend on Five Thermal Laws:

1. Fluids absorb heat while changing from a liquid state to a vapour

state and give up heat in changing from a vapour to a liquid.

2. The temperature at which a change of state occurs is constant

during the change provided the pressure remains constant.

3. Heat flows only from a body which is at a higher temperature to a

body which is at a lower temperature (hot to cold).

4. Metallic parts of the evaporating and condensing units use metals

which have a high heat conductivity (copper, brass, aluminium).

5. Heat energy and other forms of energy are interchangeable.

Example, electricity may be converted to heat; heat to electrical
energy and heat to mechanical energy.
Fluids used as a refrigerant should have certain
properties:

*It should be non-poisonous.

*It should be non-explosive.
*It should be non-corrosive.
*It must be non-flammable.
*Leaks should be easy to detect.
*Leaks should be easy to locate.
*It should operate under low
pressure (low boiling point).
*It should be a stable gas.
*Parts moving in the fluid should be easy to
lubricate.
*It should be non-toxic (not harmful if inhaled
or if spilled).
*It should have a high liquid volume per
pound to provide durable refrigerant controls.
*It should have a high latent heat per pound to
produce good cooling effect per pound of
vapor pumped.
*It should have low vapor volume per pound.
This will reduce compressor displacement
needed.
*The pressure difference between evaporating
pressure and condensing pressure should be as
little as possible to increase pumping efficiency

REFRIGERATOR
THERMO-ELECTRIC coolers or refrigerator
operate according to the Peltier effect.

The effect creates a temperature difference by

transferring heat between two electrical junctions.

A voltage is applied across joined conductors to

create an electric current. When the current flows
through the junctions of the two conductors, heat
is removed at one junction and cooling occurs.
Heat is deposited at the other junction.

Starting and Operation

• Check the ventilating valve of coil pipe for exhausting before the starting the unit
(much better if with automatic air vent).
• The unit can be started if all parts are checked to be normal. Switched on the push
button at the control panel, and check whether the rotation direction is correct. If its
rotates in opposite direction, the machine should be stopped to exchange the phase
sequence of power supply, and reconnect it.
• Monitor the running current of the motor and compare it with data on the
nameplate. If the motor is overloaded, stop the machine immediately and check for
reason, and restart the machine again after the fault has been traced.
• Observe whether the absorbing device is normal while the unit is operating.
• It is strictly prohibited to suddenly close blow valve and air return valve during
normal operation of the blower fan, or it is easy to cause overpressure to damage the
cabinet structure.

Repair and Maintenance

The air conditioning unit should be maintained by professionals or with those proper
knowledge, who will carry out daily monitoring and scheduled maintenance for the unit. In
addition, strict post responsibility system and operational procedures will be established to
strengthen regular repair and maintenance.
• Periodically clean the inner side of the unit. Generally, clean the dust on the filter screen once
for about three months, to ensure the smoothness of the air return.
• Carry on regular checking for all electric parts and safety devices periodically.
• Supplement lubricating oil to the lubricating parts after the operation for six months to one
year.
• Cut off the power supply before the overhauling of the unit, and set up warning labels to
avoid danger due to misoperation.

VENTILATION DESIGN
 Ventilating or Ventilation

- is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to provide

high indoor air quality which involves temperature control, oxygen
replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust,
airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide.

-Ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture,

introduces outside air, keeps interior building air circulating, and
prevents stagnation of the interior air.

-Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as

circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important
factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings.
Methods for ventilating a building may be divided into
mechanical/force
AIR CHANGE
The fresh air supply to a room can be calculated as :

Q=nV

where :
Q= fresh air supply (ft3/h, m3/h)
n = air change rate (h-1)
V = volume of room (ft3, m3)

CLEAN ROOM DESIGN
 Cleanroom Air Flow Principles

Cleanrooms maintain particulate-free air through the use of either HEPA or ULPA
filters employing laminar or turbulent air flow principles. Laminar, or
unidirectional, air flow systems direct filtered air downward in a constant stream.
Laminar air flow systems are typically employed across 100% of the ceiling to
maintain constant, unidirectional flow. Laminar flow criteria is generally stated in
portable work stations (LF hoods), and is mandated in ISO-1 through ISO-4
classified cleanrooms.

Proper cleanroom design encompasses the entire air distribution system, including
provisions for adequate, downstream air returns. In vertical flow rooms, this means
the use of low wall air returns around the perimeter of the zone. In horizontal flow
applications, it requires the use of air returns at the downstream boundary of the
process.

The use of ceiling mounted air returns is contradictory to proper cleanroom system
design

A. RULE OF THUMB
How many square feet does a one ton central air unit
cool?
( USA – RESIDENTIAL HOUSES )
- For and older drafty, inefficient house 400SF per ton or 37 SQM per ton. Any
sizing larger
- For a newer reasonably built house 600SF per ton. or 56 SQM per ton
- For an Energy Star Qualified house 600-800SF per ton. or 56 SQM per ton - 75
SQM per ton
- Well designed, thoughtfully crafted houses can achieve 800-1000 SF per ton. or
75 SQM per ton – 93 SQM per ton

Bigger is not better - getting the right size is important. About 70% of the work of
the air conditioner is to remove the humidity from the air - this is called the latent
load. An oversized unit will bring the temperature down quickly but not remove
the humidity. A right-sized unit will run longer and do a better job with
dehumidification allowing you to keep the set-point several degrees warmer and
still achieve the comfort level expected.
B. Calculation for Offices
For offices with average insulation and
lighting, 2/3 occupants and 3/4 personal
computers and a photocopier, the following
calculations will suffice:
Heat load (BTU) = Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) x
Height (ft.) x 4

Heat load (BTU) = Length (m) x Width (m) x

Height (m) x 141
For every additional occupant add 500 BTU.
 C. A more Accurate Heat Load Calculation For Any
Type of Room or Building
The heat gain of a room or building depends on:
*The size of the area being cooled
*The size and position of windows, and whether they
have shading
*The number of occupants
*Heat generated by equipment and machinery
*Heat generated by lighting

*By calculating the heat gain from each individual item

and adding them together, an accurate heat load
figure can be determined.
STEP ONE(1)

Calculate the area in square feet of the space to

be cooled, and multiply by 31.25

Area BTU = length (ft.) x width (ft.) x 31.25

STEP TWO (2)

Calculate the heat gain through the windows. If the

windows don’t have shading multiply the result by 1.4

North window BTU = Area of North facing windows (m. sq.)

x 164

If no shading, North window BTU = North window BTU x 1.4

South window BTU = Area of South facing windows (m. sq.)

x 868

If no shading, South window BTU = South window BTU

x 1.4

Add the results together.

Total window BTU = North window + South window
STEP THREE (3)

Calculate the heat generated by occupants,

allow 600 BTU per person.

Occupant BTU = number of people x 600

STEP FOUR(4)

Calculate the heat generated by each item of

machinery - copiers, computers, ovens etc.

Find the power in watts for each item, add them

together and multiply by 3.4
Equipment BTU = total equipment watts x 3.4
STEP FIVE (5)

Calculate the heat generated by lighting.

Find the total wattage for all lighting and
multiply by 4.25

Lighting BTU = total lighting watts x 4.25

STEP SIX (6)
Add the above together to find the total heat load.

Total heat load BTU = Area BTU + Total Window

BTU + Occupant BTU + Equipment BTU
+ Lighting BTU
STEP SEVEN (7)
Divide the heat load by the cooling capacity of
the air conditioning unit in BTU, to
determine how many air conditioners are
needed.
Number of a/c units required = Total heat
load BTU / Cooling capacity BTU

each item multiply by 3.4
Equipment BTU = total equipment watts x 3.4
= ( 7,500 + 10,000 + 12,000 + 2,000 ) x 3.4
= 65,000 BTU

V. Heat generated by lighting. Total wattage for all lighting multiply by 4.25
Lighting BTU = total lighting watts x 4.25
= ( 24watt/sqm ) x 4.25
= 975 x 24 x 4.25
= 99,450 BTU
VI. Total heat load BTU = Area BTU + Total Window BTU +
Occupant BTU +
Equipment BTU + Lighting BTU
= 328,468 + 66,424 + 1,200 + 65,000 + 99,450
= 560,542

12,000 BTU = 1TR

Thus , 574,342/12000 = 46.71TR
Say, 50 TR

Or Use 2-25 TR AHU , Class 100K , 16,000CFM

Dashen Total Volume = 5,375 cu meter
Air Change = 5
Q = 26,875 cubic meter per hour or
15,805 CFM
DESIGN ANALYSIS : ( Rule 0f Thumb )

Say , 15TR per square meter @ 34 Deg. C Ave . Temp.

Area : 979

Capacity = 65.26 TR

Say Ave outside temp. = 22 deg. C

23 TR per square meter @ 22 Deg. C

Capacity = 44.5 TR

conditioners are usually used
for the small air conditioning
capacities up to 5 tons
The central air conditioning
systems are used for where the
cooling loads extend beyond
20 tons.
The packaged air conditioners
are available in the fixed rated
capacities of 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15
tons. These units are used
commonly in places like
restaurants, telephone
exchanges, homes, small halls,
etc.
